| - 1 star for being a Chicago bar
1/2 star for being close to my home
0 stars for the awful service and crappy beer selection.
I have been here for an hour and a half. I was greeted at the door and told to find my way to the patio since it was busy for the Blackhawks game. Server comes 5 minutes later; ask for a menu? She returns 10 minutes after that. Try to order beer #1 - oh. Sorry, we don't have that. (Pet peeve when it gets to two beers that are not available anymore). Okay, order my second option. She returns 10 minutes later and goes on her way.
Order the chicken strips with ranch and honey mustard the next time she finds her way back outside. 20 minutes later a random person comes out to each table - did you order chicken strips? No? Did you? No? Four tables later she gets it right. Do we not put tickets on our food to know where it goes? Because this has been happening for every table that ordered food out here on the patio.
(Dear Half Moon, if you are serving finger food, make your servers bring some damn napkins). Oh, and they forgot the honey mustard.
Then, I'm left alone for 30 minutes. Girl comes back to ask if I want more. Nope, but I'll take beer option #3. Oh, sorry, we don't have that. But we do have this and you know, rotating handles. OK, but seriously! Print different paper beer lists if you can't keep the same taps on for long periods of time - it is not hard. There are plenty of good sports bars around here that figured that shit out already.
Ask for a water and my check. Water comes after 10 minutes and tastes like pool water. As I write this, I am still waiting on my check. Maybe she got lost.
Sorry, Half Moon, your being a Chicago bar is not enough to bring me back. Get more servers for busy nights, or at least get one or two with some hustle.
